Data transfer will be faster in circuit switching or packet switching?

Data transfer will be faster in packet switching providing the setup time in circuit switching is greater than the time required to send a packet. If not, that is setup time in circuit switching takes less time, then circuit switching is quicker.


3 Explain the flaw in the following logic Packet switching requires control and address bits to be added to each packet This causes considerable overhead in packet switching In circuit switching?

In circuit switching there is also some required overhead; the overhead in packet switching is usually a small percentage of the total traffic; and in any case, the benefits of packet switching far outweigh any disadvantage of some minor overhead.


Which is the switching technique used in current telecommunication. Cirucit switching or packet switching?

packet switching is use today


Types of switching?

What is the switching method used by the internet?

Packet Switching =)


What network technologies does not use circuit switching?

Packet Switching - Computer Communications (Digital)Circuit Switching was used for old fashioned telephony. At present, many companies use VOIP (Packet Switching) for voice communications.


The telephone system uses packet-switching technology where as the Internet uses circuit-switching technology?

telephone system uses packet switching because packet switching is reiable. In a packet switching when a packet(some part of total information) is lost then the packet can be retransmitted. But in case of circuit switching if any part of data is lost anytime then total data will be retransmitted. Again circuit swithing is more speedy with compare to packet switching.In order to increase the bit rate (more speed) circuit switch is prefered in Internet.


What are the two methods of switching?

1. circuit switching 2. packet switching


What are the three basic hardware building blocks of a host?

There are three basic hardware building blocks of a host. These include the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), client technology, as well as Packet Switching.


What technology takes packets and breaks them out into smaller packets and send them over the network?

packet switching


How many type of switching in telephony?

Circuit switching and Packet switching are used in Telephony. Circuit switching is used in voice communication and packet switching is used in transmission of data packets to provide internet connection.


What is difference between circuit switching and message switching?

1.circuit switching statically reserves the required bandwidth in advance whereas packet switching acquires & releases it as it is needed. 2.With circuit switching any unsed bandwidth on a allocated circuit is just waisted.with packet switching it may be utilised by other packets . 3.Circuit switching needs to set up an end to end path before any data can be sent. 4.When packet switching is used it is straight forward for router to provide speed and code conversion. 5.In packet switching packet may be delivered in the wrong order. 6Packet carriers usually base theier charge on both the no. of bytes(or packets carried and connect time. 7.with circuit switching, the charge is based on the distance and time only, not the traffic.
